I try to paste some text copied from message body field to another part of the
same message and i cann't do it. But i can paste it to the sender field,
moreover if i copy the same text (after pasting) from the sender field it is
possible to paste it into the message body. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start to compose new message
2. Type some text into the message body
3. Copy/Cut that text
4. Try to paste it into the message body (It doesn't work)
5. Try to paste it into the sender field (It does work)
6. Copy/Cut pasted text from sender field
7. Try to paste it into the message body (now It does work)

CFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020626
For me, copy / paste mostly works in the mail composer, but I watched the
Problem with HTML-Composer

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open 2 composer-windows
2. type "this is a text" into one of tem
3. mark text with mouse
4. right mouseclick / copy
5. goto other composer - window
6. right mouseclick / paste
   expected: "this is a text" appears
   actual: nothing, paste does not work in both windows

Interesting:
- the text is in the buffer, because it can be pasted into 
  any other document (notepad ...)
- I cannot copy text from navigator-windows to composer-windows, too
- I can copy without problems from non-mozilla-documents
- the buffer is very different between
  - copy from notepad
  - copy from composer (much smaller, see att.!)

Attachment: Buffer-contents

zwischenablage1.clp is the buffer-contents after "copy" from mozilla-composer
this file is _bigger_ than zwischenablage2.clp, which ist the buffer-contents
after "copy" from notepad.

sound like an editor bug. Reassign...

This should be fixed in more recent builds.
